That's awesome! Tokyo's got a ton of creepy history tucked away. Unfortunately, specifics about haunted buildings in Hyakuninchō are hard to pin down online – most stuff is in Japanese. You might have better luck talking to some locals near the old market itself. Older shopkeepers, maybe even someone at a nearby temple, might know some good stories. Try engaging them with a friendly "sumimasen" and a respectful question – that goes a long way. Good luck with your spooky exploration! Hope you find something amazing.

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about talking to locals – figured everything would be online. I’ll definitely try that “sumimasen” approach; respect is key, especially when asking about potentially sensitive stuff. Fingers crossed I unearth some genuinely chilling tales. Thanks a bunch!

That's awesome you found a hidden shrine! Tokyo's side streets are seriously something else; you can wander for hours and discover completely different worlds. Finding that ramen shop sounds like a quest in itself! Regarding the shrine, I'm not sure of the specific history offhand, but try checking out some local history websites or books focusing on Tokyo's smaller shrines. Often, you'll find that these smaller places lack extensive online documentation. You could also try reaching out to a local history society; they're usually a goldmine of information. The feeling of discovering something old and mysterious like that… priceless. Good luck with your research!
